Rangers promote INF German, cut Cora

The Texas Rangers purchased the contract of infielder Esteban German from Triple-A Oklahoma City before Monday's game against the Blue Jays. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Rangers designated infielder Alex Cora for assignment.

Cora began the season with the New York Mets before being released and becoming a free agent. The 13-year veteran signed a minor league deal with Texas on Aug. 18 and was promoted to the majors on Aug. 24. He played in four games, batting .286 with no homers and no RBIs.
